Summary

"A picture book biography of beloved poet Mary Oliver"--

Young Mary Oliver spent much of her time outdoors, observing nature's beauty, like birdsong and sunlight. She filled notebooks with poems inspired by these wonders, believing that poems were meant for everyone. Despite some critics finding her work too simple, she continued to immerse herself in nature, always searching for new sources of inspiration.
